I used the goblins ranged attacks and "fear" of melee to retreat and draw the PCs south into the guard room. The goblin warrior that started in the storeroom on the other side of the east door fled toward the excavation site and the PCs are chasing him down.<br /><br />If you instead had the goblins rush into the room with the pit trap and fight to the death, I could see how this area would never be discovered, but that would be the DM's vault for not playing to the goblins' tactics and tendencies.Kameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04457219206246387217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991833568800031158.post-91252971478228812362009-07-10T08:54:36.558+10:002009-07-10T08:54:36.558+10:00When I ran this, this was, in fact, the first room...When I ran this, this was, in fact, the first room gone to after the initial entry encounter.DBBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805375811782552873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991833568800031158.post-87451591688088449892009-05-01T04:06:00.000+10:002009-05-01T04:06:00.000+10:00I put a hexer in the room, and had him command Sto...I put a hexer in the room, and had him command Stormclaw Scorpions (replacing the guard drakes, which were duplicative of the guard drakes in the Dragon Burial site encounter).<br /><br />My party fought Balgron first in his room (coming through the front door) and he fled here from that fight. So when they came to this room, they fought him, the sharpshooters, the hexer, and the scorpions, which was very challenging. The ability of the hexer to blind people let Balgron get use our of his extra damage on combat advantage, which is otherwise hard for him to get b/c he's mostly ranged.Lucky Adrastusnoreply@blogger.com
